EOHALA NOTES.
Rejoicing Over the Political Change
Celebration Of the Fourth.

Never has steamer been awaited |
with such feversh excitement as the
Kinau on her last trip from Honolulu
As she did not arrive on her schedule |
time conjectures were numerous as to
the cause of her delay.
The news from Honolulu in refer
ence to the changes in the Ministry
has given general satisfaction to the
residents, both foreigners and natives,
Of this district. Not one dissenting
voice has been heard to the contrary
of the citizens choice in Honolulu.
We are delighted at the change, as we
are now more or less confident that
our prayers and petitions will be
granted, or at least be heard.
What we stand IN need Of, is a radi-
cal change in some of our officers here.
The roads have not been touched for
such a long time that it is hard to
remember when work was last done on
them, so that they never we're in
more frightful condition than to-day.
